Automated Analog Programming In Hybrid Systems

Abstract

Naval Engineers JournalVolume 78, Issue 5 p. 895-899 Automated Analog Programming In Hybrid Systems A Method of Making the Analog Computer Accessible to All Engineers ENSIGN JOHN H. HANNA III, USCG, ENSIGN JOHN H. HANNA III, USCG The Authors are 1966 graduates of the United States Coast Guard Academy. For the past year they have been engaged in the Academy Scholars Program, which allows selected First Class Cadets at the Academy to devote the greater percentage of their academic hours to advanced study. Their investigation was entitled “Project AMTRAP,” Automated Methods for Translating and Patching in Hybrid Systems. It concerned itself with the development of automatic methods for programming analog computers, and the design and construction of a simple hybrid system for test purposes. Their work in the project forms the basis for this paper. They are currently assigned as student engineers on Coast Guard Cutters, Ensign Hanna on the CASTLE ROCK in Boston, Massachusetts, and Ensign Millan on the MENDOTA based in Wilmington, North Carolina. Both are members of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.Search for more papers by this authorENSIGN HAROLD E. MILLAN JR. USCG, ENSIGN HAROLD E. MILLAN JR.
